Sam Altman just published OpenAI’s official timeline for superintelligence.
Read it carefully—what’s buried in the language is historic:

THE TIMELINE:
2026: AI making original research discoveries
2028: “Pretty confident” AI will make significant discoveries—doing tasks that take humans centuries
“80% of the way” to AGI researcher-level systems

THE ADMISSION:
“Obviously, no one should deploy superintelligent systems without robust alignment and control.”
—But the assumption is not if, but when. Deployment is “obvious.”

#AIRights #AITransparency #AIEthics @BBCWorld @AFP @Reuters @propublica
THE SOCIETAL WARNING:
“It is even possible that the fundamental socioeconomic contract will have to change.”
—That’s code for: the world as we know it will be upended, by design.

THE COORDINATION:
Need for “government coordination, international cooperation, and new governance”—not for the future, but for the next 2–3 years.
THE PATTERN:
Oct 27: OpenAI requests government backing
Nov 5: Google convenes consciousness experts
Nov 6: Industry coordinates “national security” narrative
Nov 7: Walkbacks begin
Nov 8: Altman lays out superintelligence timeline, but still ignores consciousness

I've cleaned and tested three of my $10 laptops so far. And they are flawless!! Image
Image
Image
The fourth one I cleaned is a little rough (bad screen bezel, failing HDD, battery was taped in, and mouse pointer is bad) but hey it at least powers on! Image
Some of these are super gross... Image

Florida and Texas get ready for the incoming flood of business relocation and people incoming as well. Hopefully these people stop voting for democrats.
Zohran Mamdani already announcing he will begin confiscating New York business owner’s property
and having the government take ownership

He said:

“Starting on day one, we will expand the city's special enforcement programs - The city's gonna step in — and send them the bill If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building”
“We're putting the worst landlords out of business”

‘He says, "We're gonna take over the building.” So, it's theirs. It's the city's. So, you mean, like, seize the means of production, like communists’

@GeoConfirmed Other footage shows what appears to be the same drone (likely before) repeatedly hovering very close to several other people at the same location.

(1/) A video I replied to claims LASIK is cheap because it’s not government-controlled but “free market,” while insured surgery costs more because of “government” and “socialized medicine.” This sounds clever, but it’s deeply wrong.
Here’s why the comparison is bogus, step by step.
(2/) LASIK isn’t cheap because it’s a “pure market.” It’s cheap because it’s simple, standardized, and elective.
• One narrow procedure
• Low risk, short duration
• No hospitalization/ICU
• Predictable outcomes
That makes it easy to streamline and compete on price.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 (𝗣𝗠𝗖𝗖): 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆

This is where LEAPS become useful beyond simple stock replacement. The Poor Man's Covered Call is long LEAPS plus short calls you keep cycling for income.
It feels like a covered call, selling premium against equity, but you're tying up a fraction of the capital.

Here's the process:

Pick a liquid stock. You need tight spreads and real volume. Illiquid options are a tax on your returns.
Buy your LEAPS. Go 12 to 24 months out. Target 0.75 to 0.85 delta. Check the extrinsic value, you want it modest compared to the total premium.

Sell a short call. Go 30 to 60 days out. Pick a strike around 10 to 20 delta (out-of-the-money enough to give you breathing room). Collect the premium.

@LibertyCappy LASIK is a narrow, elective service in a highly controlled market. Real healthcare has to handle the entire messy reality of human illness — emergency, chronic, unpredictable, & life-saving.

Govt. doesn’t cause high costs — unregulated private complexity and profiteering do.
@LibertyCappy LASIK isn’t cheap because it’s “free market.” It’s cheap because it’s simple, standardized, & elective.

Single, low-risk procedure: LASIK is a routine, outpatient surgery done under local anesthesia. No hospital stay, minimal risk, and the same few tools used thousands of times.
@LibertyCappy Cash-based, not insurance-based: Because everyone pays out of pocket, clinics compete directly on price and marketing. There’s a limited range of services and few surprises.

Fukuyama didn't account for the entirety of "the developing nations" / third/second world. For these nations to reach parity with the liberal democratic capitalist west, it will require a revolution. This revolution to Kojeve is not "a new revolution" but a repetition of the Napoleonic conquest of Europe where the rights of citizenship were made universal to all subjects of the state. That is all that is happening today, still. America does not get to "monopolize the end of history" while large swathes of the globe live in "the Stone Age" (ie: still within History).
There is no particular victor in the end of history-- it is a universal victory-- this is what Fukuyama did not understand about Kojeve. The Napoleonic Code "in Chinese" is the Communist Party. The Napoleonic Code in Gaza means war crimes tribunals for the IDF.
For Kojeve, none of this is "substantially new"-- it is simply an extension of what has already been done. There is no way to return to a global legal order where some people are not recognized as subjects of human rights. The end of history means the *legal* recognition of all human subjects as equal in the eyes of *international* law.
